Innovation Solution

A razor wire container with a movable access component and component receptacles, allowing forklifts to move the container, providing secure access while retaining deterrent features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a razor wire fence is used as a security barrier, then the deterrent capability against ingress and egress is improved, but the ease of access to the secured area deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeterrent capabilityVSAvoidease of access
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a movable access component that can be dynamically positioned between a locked position (maintaining security) and an unlocked position (providing access). This dynamic mechanism allows the barrier to transition between its deterrent function and its access function, resolving the contradiction between security reliability and ease of access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If a fixed razor wire fence is used, then the security barrier effectiveness is maintained, but the ability to move or reposition the barrier deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebarrier effectivenessVSAvoidrepositioning capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a movable access component with a locking mechanism that allows the barrier to be repositioned. The component can be locked in place to maintain barrier effectiveness, or moved to reposition the entire barrier structure, thus providing both reliability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The barrier is divided into a main fixed structure and a separate movable access component. This segmentation allows the main barrier to remain effective while the accessible component can be moved independently to provide access or repositioning capability without compromising the overall barrier effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If an access component is added to the razor wire fence, then the ease of access is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The access component uses a simple dynamic locking mechanism rather than a complex automated system. The locking component can be easily engaged or disengaged by manual operation, providing ease of access without introducing significant complexity to the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
